in vast and countless herds over
the ranges of the Immense country.
which at that time was known as
the Great American Desert.
In early days-prior to the build
ing of the great Pacific railroads
the buffalo held his own, and his
numbers have been variously esti-
mated at from twelve to twenty
millions.
When the Union Pacific road first
started towards the setting sun the
slaughter commenced, and who
could have prophesied that in
twenty short years these immense
herds would be reduced to a paltry
few hundred? But such is the case,
as at the present time there are
known to exist on the American
continent not moro than four hun
dred of these animals. A small
herd now roams in the Staked
Plains of Texas; another small and
rapidly thinning band was last fall
inhabiting the bad lands of Dakota;
a small herd of about fifty animals
is confined to the Yellowstone Park
under government protection, and |
and the largest and widest herd of |
bison, numbering when seen last
about two hundred head, has sought
out, if possible, hiding place far
up in the heart of the British Pos
sessions.
Travellers who penetrated the
country twenty or
hirty years ago have related that
hey have seen vast droves, which,
travelling in quick trot of eight
niles per hour, took sometimes as
much as from three to eight hours
o pass given point. In the early
lays of western railroading trains
we're sometimes delayed for many '
ours waiting for the buffalo to !
ass. On one occasion herd esti-
mated by an expert plainsman to I
ontain 100000 was seen. :
Agents of the Smithsonian Insti-
ate, hearing of their rapid decrease,
ere suddenly reminded that the z
reat museum contained no speci- I
len of this native American rumi- s
ant, and party was hurriedly s
arted out to make good the neg R
ct. With great difficulty they 9
lcceeded in getting half a dozen y
,ecimens. In fact, so scarce has s.
Ie buffalo become, that a mounted g
lad is worth from $75 to $3.50. 9
,ntimentalists have often urged
at Congress should take steps to
otect these animals, but military
unsels have overruled all such
vice; the theory being that if the %
ffalo were exterminated, the red c
an would have less excuse to 90 NJ
'on hunting excursions, and would g g
us be more securely chained to w
3 reservations. Over those vast or
d treeless plains where once the oy
ffalo roamed in such countless DC
mbers as to make the very earth q
mble, today are to be seen the +;
IRE domestic long-horned steer, in
mense droves Of sheep and innu- tn
rahle horses, and the former

A Lively Whirl

1t takes live methods to succeed in any
thing. Business doesn't come to the mer-
chant who waits. We don't propose to
wait For weeks we have been busy get
ting in large stock of our usual fine grades
of tailor-made suits. We didn't buy it to
keep, but to sell, and now we want to sell it.
You may not be ready TO buy yet, yet
many are buying their fall and winter suits
now. The early buyer has many advan-
tages over the late one-fuli lines large as
sortment and great variety in fabrics-yet
we aim to keep our lines full at all times.
In some cases it can't be done, hence we sug-
gest the advantage of early buyers. You
have no idea how well we can serve you:
variety i'll colors, fabrics and low prices are
our inducements. We assure perfect fits.
What more can you ask! Come and go
over our stock with us; your eyes viii be
opened. Parents can clothe their boys with
us at a great saving. IN a word if we can't
give you the finest assortment, the snuggest
fit and the greatest general satisfaction we
don't want your order

THE YELLOW FEVER SCARE.
Talk About Quarantine-Nurses Ready
to Go TO Tampa.

The absence of any move on the part of
the authorities to establish quarantine
against Tampa has caused considerable talk.
A good many people are anxious that some-
thing shall be done. The Sanitary Com
missioners have taken no steps in this direc-
ton, and they have not even considered the
matter.
Health Officer Mcfarland is confined by
illness. Dr. Duncan, who is a member of
the Sanitary Board and also of the City
Council, says that there is no necessity for
quarantining at this time of the year. He
is in doubt whether it is yellow fever or
dengue that is prevailing at Tampa,
and even if it is yellow fever he
says Savannah is in no danger. He re-
ceived the following telegram last night
from President Ingraham, of the South
Florida railroad, who telegraphed here on
Saturday for nurses:
SANFORD, FLA, Oct. 10.
Dr. VIM Duncan, Sdpdnndh:
J. r, Fish has gone to Tampa to organize
relief station and will notify us to-day as to the
number of nurses required, if any. viii wire
you later. j. E. INGRAHAM.
No further advices have been received.
There are any number of nurses here who
are ready to go at once if wanted, but until
something more definite is heard they
will not be sent on.
DrduSIfeeIS mercantile Agency recelNeu
the following letter from its Tampa cor
respondent in regard to the situation there:
TAMPA, FLA, Oct. s, 1887.
You cannot imagine the panic which has
struck the people here. Four people have died
within the last three weeks and because the
doctors don't just exactly know what of they
have called it or led us to believe it is yellow
fever OF the first of the four cases, from what
l can gather the man undoubtedly died of in
ternal hemorhage The peculiarly of the
vomit, which was of dark color arising from the
action of the gastric juices led some people to
call it yellow jack. This was about the 18th
ult. All the people were quarantined
in their own houses for ten
days. None of them developed any disease.
The second man on Oct. / had been long suf-
fering from Bright's disease, and his people de-
clare he died from that. The third case which
set the people all wild was the painter, who was
and eating died suddenly. The last death was
last Thursday The man had been sick about two
weeks and was just recovering from whatever
he was afflicted with, SO his doctor said when
he was taken badly just about four hours before
he died.
Almost all of the business houses are closed,
and the town is Just about dull as it can be.
The impression gathers that the people who
have left-3 900 or 4,000-are too hasty, and that
they will return. In the meantime the town
has received blow from which it will suffer to
a very great extent, and time only will show
whether there is anything to justify this score.
Duns agency has received no advices.
An agent was sent into Florida yesterday,
and his report will probably be received to-
morrow

perfect bediam. Yells and cat calls, imita
tions of the crow Of the rooster and all sorts
of noises rent the air. Chairman Thomas
was powerless, but at last he succeeded in
putting the question on the substitute and

vided that a division was called

Chairman Thomas adopted the suggestion,
and the crowd divided The noes had a
slight majority, but the meeting was more
evenly divided than those present had
thought it would be. The motion was then
put on tie original resolution and it was
carried and the meeting adjourned amid
great confusion.

Chicago Grain and Pr oduee

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-THE markets on
Change were all higher today and the
volume of speculation larger, especially
during the early part Of the day. The fea-
ture of the days trading was the advance
in corn and provisions, which helped other
articles, and caused better feeling among
all classes of traders.
Wheat was sluggish, and the pit during
snost Of the morning was deserted, opera
tors finding other pits more attractive.
The market, however, was firm and was
helped somewhat by the strength in corn
and provisions. December opened at
lower. at 1874, advanced to 7355, reacted
and closed at 73N@4.
Corn was IN active demand both for spec
Llative and shipping purposes and the
market ruled stronger. Light receipts,
with the urgent shipping demand together
with the government crop reports showing
about 5,000.O 900 decrease under last months
report, created a firm feeling. shorts
covered freely ana there was buying from
other sources. The market opened firm at
Yesterdays closing prices, advanced with
slight changes, ruled steady, changed some
and closed 3s@E higher than yesterday,
with May at 4614 and November 42}l.
Oats exhibited a better feeling today and
more speculative interest was centered in
the market. The principle trading was in
the May delivery, and the Improvement in
the market was attributed TO he favorable
change in corn. About 1s@4c improve
ment in values occurred and the market
closed fairly strong with May at 295s.
Provisions were also active and cOnsid-
cradle strength was developed. The prices
for hogs excited considerable influence in
the market for products The firmne5s in
corn also had some effect Shorts" were
anxious to purchase and outside orders TO
buy were quite liberal. Prices were ad-
vanced materially on all of the leading
articles, but the outside prices were not
fully supported Packers were disposed
10 sell some product for future delivery at
the advance, and this was the main cause
for the reaction. Receipts were fair and
shipments liberal January and May were
the most active options. January pork
opened at BIB ranged at 13.05al3 - and
closed at BID; January lard sold at G. 621s
@6.67jI closed at the latter figure Jan
uary short ribs sold at 6.60@67215 and
closed at 90
